- They keep our kids safe in the water and rely on their training to kick in when they jump into action. Being a lifeguard comes with serious responsibility as three children die every day as a result of drowning. But there are countless rescues.
Looks like that pool has super training and high standards for their lifeguards!
That’s really great to see!!
Excellent save!!
No kidding! Weekly CPR training. The lifeguard said that she was only thinking about the steps of the rescue. Professionalism.
I think this qualifies her as Mayor of Chicago. She just saved more lives than
Lightfoot.
What an amazing young lady.
I'm not so sure about that
If she was alert in watching the pool it wouldn't of taken so long to pull the kid out of the water and CPR would not have been needed
What's certain is that she and her colleagues failed as a lifeguard
Sunny has given that kid more sunny days!
This is outrageous, I've been a life guard for 5 years and I know that it takes a few minutes after you start drowning for your heart to stop pumping. This is just your typical case of life guards failing to be alert and WATCH the pool while doing visual scans. Happens all the time, after a long shift of always watching the very same pool for hours you start to daze off. Managers and fellow lifeguards should of noticed the lack of attention and given a warning, usually when the on chair guard fails to do visual scans every 10 sec. A lifeguard's n1 objective isn't to resuscitate ppl from near death experiences but to PREVENT those situations from occurring in the first place and on that note she and her fellow colleagues failed. Still lucky her she saved that girl, most CPR situations don't have such happy conclusions.
Wow 16 amazing
Good job Sunny! 🙌🏻 🌊🐬
Yo I swim at this pool everyday
PARENTS! please watch your kids! beach or pool!!😅
Trusting in Jesus for everything repent of your sins and you shall be saved ❤

Meanwhile us water park guards make 10-15 saves a day
i haven’t had to make a save yet this summer
Yeah, literally today at our water park we had to deal with an emergency like 5 times. Bruh.
She cute
Hi
Hate to say it, but the lifeguard should have saved the kid long before CPR would be necessary
As a lifeguard, that’s not how it works. A person can slip under suddenly at any moment. Plus people can have medical emergencies in the pool. Lifeguard negligence can happen but it’s very rare because of our training. The child slipped under and she was resuscitated. The department of health usually does an investigation to be sure no negligence occurred, so best guess here is no negligence was present.
@@sortaswim81419 As a lifeguard at a water park or pool, you should be able to complete a rescue in less than 30 seconds. Of course further treatment would be given for medical emergencies like heart attacks or seizures but a lifeguard at a small pool like this shouldn’t have ever let a drowning go on long enough for CPR to be necessary.
@@garrettsiemann6751 but you’re missing the point. The point is that a child can slip under the water in less than 5 seconds and need CPR. I can speak to personal experience for that one. CPR can be needed if you were under for 5 seconds or 5 minutes. I’d hope you’re not under for 5 minutes but it is possible in beach guarding if guards have trouble getting to you if you’re in a rip or go under and they can’t see you, but that’s a whole other story. My point is a child can be under for a very short amount of time and be lifted out of the water in less than 30 seconds and still need CPR.
@@sortaswim81419 I absolutely agree that beach guarding would have different rules and standards about their rescues, considering how different the environment is. At a small swimming pool, like this case, the lifeguard should be held legally responsible if it took 5 minutes.
@@garrettsiemann6751 the lifeguard is never held legally responsible except if they are negligent. Imagine if you got food poisoning and the chef was held personally responsible. That would be insane
